How is thic scope in low light conditions?

Its pretty good. Like most zoom scopes you will start to loose light pretty noticeably but it is still pretty good. I find that even in low light i use the black cross hairs because when it is dark enough the colored light ones are so bright that they can just wash out your view in the scope making it harder to see.

it performs very well for me. i use it on my Remington 700. have shot it around 7:30 at night in low light. it comes with MOA calculations but other than that no instructions need. its self explanatory. overall I give it 10 out of 10 in all areas

Seems to be about average. Overall quality is good. Does not come with any instrctions. You have to find them on WEB.

David, out of hundreds of posts I've read about the HF 200, yours is by far the most helpful. I am shooting a corporate board meeting in poor flourescent lighting tomorrow, and trying to get test to get the best results. The meeting is 90 minutes long, so I am going to try to break it up into approx 20 min segments while shooting for easier file management. Going to shoot in FXP mode 30p. I am going to try some tests with aperture priority at wide open. Are there concerns about subject staying in focus by doing this, or is the autofocus reliable enough for shallow dof?

It has some range finding reticle, it does light up green and red. I have around 500 rounds through my .300 Win MAG and it still comes back to zero everytime. My scope is clear until right before max zoom.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

Medium work best. You could be introduced to the half moon club with the hi profile with a short eye relief on your scope

It's ok at it's shortest range. Low light and long distance usually don't make a great combo. Even though it's a 30mm tube, it doesn't gather light too well on an object that's 500+yds away.

It sounds defective. All of the reticle colors illuminate brightly on mine. And I have been able to adjust windage and elevation to zero the scope although it did take a lot of clicks on the screws.

Jordean, I never used the sight outdoors in sunlight. It works fine at the indoor range. It has 4 brightness settings. It's no EOTech, but at this price point it will do.

We have had this scope about a year now, we never had issues with the light or focus. It is a great scope!

I use this scope primarily for observing the sun (with solar filter of course) and also for viewing gun targets from a distance....if you are using the scope for viewing in low light the 100mm is definitely worth it....it is not that heavy....and a regular camera tripod supports it easily....I am quite happy with the performance of the scope....Jim

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.

zoom in a little bit. At the low end of your 18-55 in a small space (indoors) you most likely won't see a lot of difference- take it outside and turn it up to 55 and I promise you'll notice something!

There is a focus ring on the scope but it's not as crystal clear as I had hoped for. A little blurry but still functionable

My ATN has no magnification. In perfect conditions (full moon) I'm comfortable taking shots at stationary targets at 50 yards. Using a 980nm IR illuminator works well. Source is invisible to the human eye but the scope sees it well.

No issues.... You see the reticle in black vs red. It is seen Very Clearly even in full sunlight

The unit is excellent as a simple eye in the dark for whatever your normal vision is; it magnifies up to 3 times optical and times that x2 for up to 6 digital - it can easily see 200+to 300+ yards at this magnification but gets very jumpy to keep a steady hand at this magnification - this is true of any spotting scope I have tried - it does have a fitting for a tripod which would be helpful at long distances and high magnification. Secondly, yes, the IR circle (opposing end of eyepiece) gives off a red glow at night so pure cloaking is not there (not an expert but suspect most affordable units have same issue). The unit is super easy to use, easy to focus, and at no magnification is like seeing in the day albeit in black and white. Yes it can record stills and video but does not come with a memory stick. It's also a nice size, durable, sheathed in soft rubber and the few controls are easy to use even in the dark. I am very happy with my recent purchase - for the money, it's a sweet product. Best Regards.

Mine is a little foggy above 10 power. But it is an very good scope for the money. I think the people that give it bad reviews are expecting to much for this price range.
